4th gen coil-overs on 5th gen??

I found a good deal on 4th Gen Coil-overs. Will they fit on a 5th gen??

I know I have read on here people doing stuff with 4th gen suspension parts. I just need to know if these will work and if anyone has done it with success.

ASU? RobAE?

Re: 4th gen coil-overs on 5th gen??

Is this a full coilover or just the springs like the Ground Control ? If it's a full coilover, the fronts won't fit cause the mounting points at the knuckle is different.

If you get the AGX's and modify them to fit the 5thgen then yeah you can use 4thgen gc's..

The progress springs are meant to fit both 4th and 5th i think. The reason is b/c when you order them the part number for the 5th and 4th gens are the same. Go to cattman.com and you can see the part numbers
